\\nAvatar, Book One.

\\nIn the final scene of DS9 we saw Jake Sisko peering out of a window\\nat the wormhole. As we pulled away from the station, so much had\\nbeen resolved yet so much was left undone. The TV series had signed\\noff, but the story didn\'t end there. In an unprecedented\\nexperiment, Pocket Books decided to continue a Star Trek series in\\nbook form with what is essentially the Deep Space Nine Season Eight\\npremiere, Avatar. Penned by S.D. Perry, this two-part story opens\\nwith Jake and propels us into the next stage of the story\\nsurrounding Bajor, the Dominion, and the Prophets. In this episode\\nof Literary Treks we take a close look at the first half of this\\nstory, the new and familiar faces that make up the new DS9 crew,\\nthe cyclical nature of events, and the search for new\\ndirections.\\xa0

\\nIn our news segment we check in on Dayton Ward\'s entry in "The\\nFall" series, Peaceable Kingdoms, discuss our expectations for Star\\nTrek Ongoing #18 and Countdown to Darkness #2, and talk about how\\ncomics could be the perfect format for launching Enterprise Season\\nFive.\\xa0
